Ok so I realize this is not a food post, but I wanted to bring some attention to why I have this "Strong Like Madeline" go fund me account on my page.
Madeline is my cousin that lives in Washington that is battling cancer. She has moved from her home in Walla Walla to be closer to Seattle Children's Hospital where she is fighting hard against rhabdomyosarcoma and MPNST (also known as a triton tumor). The cancer has been very aggressive and her battle has been lots of chemotherapy. She is 6 years old and has been so crazy strong though everything.
Recently Maddie and family became friends with Steven Hauschka from the Seattle SeaHawks, and he brought Maddie and family to a practice session. From this session she gave out purple bracelets to the players that say "Strong Like Madeline" on them. The next day you can see both Steven Hauschka and Russell Wilson wearing them at the big game. To make things even more awesome, at media day, you can see a short clip of Maddie saying good luck to her favorite players and the rest of the team, even getting a response back from Russell Wilson!
Watch Maddie! This is the link where you can see Maddie wish her team good luck and Wilson comment back to her. It's at min. 2:40!
I love that there are people out there like Steven Hauschka and Russell Wilson that truly care about others and use their fame to recognize and help those in need.
